today Greater New York Dental Meeting Nov. 30, 2015

By Sulzer Mixpac Staff n Thanks in part to quality, the mixing tips from MIXPAC™ have been firmly established in the dental market, just one more reason to visit these products while here at the 2015 Greater New York Dental Meeting (GNYDM). Sulzer Mixpac declares war on copiers – for the benefit of patients and dentists. “The great demand for our mixing tips confirms that we understand the needs of users and patients,” said Martina Strasser, global head sales healthcare at Sulzer Mixpac. She added: “The disadvantage of our popularity is that copies of the proven products are entering the market in increasing numbers. There is an urgent need for action to protect the safety of patients and dentists. One of our foremost tasks at GNYDM is to inform the dentists and medi- cal purchasers specifically about the risks and disadvantages of using copies.” Mixing tips from the clean room or the street “MIXPAC mixing tips are safe and manufactured meticulously under strict hygienic conditions,” said Stephan Schatz, director medical device responsibility at Sulzer Mix- pac. In contrast, the copies are not, which was proven recently in a case on the East Coast. Sulzer Mixpac investigators identified the illegal machinationsofadentalsupplierwho procured about 500 bags of counter- feit mixing tips out of a vehicle. He paid for the goods in cash with no receipt and no guarantee. He planned to sell the forged products online on eBay. Once caught, the supplier was forced to hand over his profits and inventory and disclose the customers who had purchased the products. “Cheap manufacturers who do not invest in expensive hygiene proc- esses and safety procedures care- lessly sell counterfeit mixing tips directly to dental offices throughout the country — and thus bypass reli- able, legitimate suppliers, ” said Mike Murphy, litigation attorney for Sulzer Mixpac. “It does not pay for dentists to risk their reputation and their patient’s health for pennies of cost savings. We are confident our information campaign will convince dentists to protect their patients and avoid risky products.” Save dental material and ensure homogeneous mixing quality In addition to trademark features like colors and logo, major differences exist between the original mixing tips and cheap copies.
